and so we are changing lives in palestine showing that love days. you donated we deliver upon the ship. we'll be in bringing you husband love to palestine for all to see said donated with confidence. knights with outcast foundation. we are in palestine together. we are changing the world one hawks that's time and 0 target to benjamin. nothing. yeah. says a network, we no longer broadcast from his way because it was his national security. but someone says that seems to not to respond to what's behind the band. and what does it mean for the world? because uh, this is inside story, the hello welcome to the program on the how sion, how about a prime minister,

benjamin that tell you how has promised to take a 0 off. it is well calling you to tell a channel, he accused the network of harmony as well as national security and actively but dissipating, the ex, told whether 7th attack as us, as the accusations oslander us and jeopardize the rights and safety of its employees. wells wide media, freedom groups are alarmed and one is why it is trying to sense that coverage or the warning cause a. but this isn't the 1st time is why it has targeted a 0 or is joe nice. so how will this bad impact is coverage and what all the why the implications for the both cost of plenty to discuss. but 1st let's set a scene with this report silva and said that i off the years of the rent the is really parliament passed. and little paving the way for out to 0 to be bad is the whole numbers you know, lot talking about the i declare that the bill to prevent

a foreign broadcasting organization for the farming the state security, will enter the book of laws for a full blown on the default and the 0 has covered as well as occupation of the palestinian territory since it's dealt with world competing in 1996. during the 6 months of war, garza prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been pushing this legislation in a social media post. he called out to 0, a tara channel, accusing it of participating in her mouth attacks on october, the 7th, and promising to take it off and respond to the media network, condemned the statements as a, quote dangerous ludicrous lie. it also said inflammatory slander would not to tow it still unless from continuing that bold, unprofessional coverage. journalist writes, organizations were quick to denounce for legislation. you were extremely alone by this is yet another attempt by israel to sense of the media to limit the information coming out about the role in garza and beyond. and we

do not want to say this low and knocks it, but us emphasized its support for press freedom. much of what we know about what has happened in gaza is because of reporters where they're doing their jobs, including reporters from al jazeera in 2021 is really troops destroyed the networks bureau in the gaza strip, giving stuff just one hours notice to leave a year later is ready, snipers killed permanent john list to read a block list while she was reporting in jeanine in the occupied westbank. as since october, the 7th. the list of all to 0 correspondents killed by israel's military is growing long ago. veronica pedroza out to 0 for the inside story. obviously this is a story about all fundamental interest here on this as we go about with our

distinguished panel, we're aiming to put it in the context of global human vice, the humanitarian imperative. and you politics in the time of your, in decades, irene con view and special russell tool on the right to freedom of opinion and expression. here in doha is most social. now the policy is actually based on citizen joiners, social 55 months of will and gaza and london, daniel levy is the president of the us middle east project and the 4 base to go shake. who's following up a little close to what comes with the program? i mean, let me start by asking you about your reaction to these ready low a mean to ben, a 0, a network. but i am alone. i'm alone because banning and international reputable media optic in the middle of the war as you say, without any obvious explanation, is, is in my was censorship making censorship. i'm definitely body freedom of expression . but also i think broadly of access to information. okay. man saw you

have been in goes on to recently how important is that a 0 coverage of the people that it's a 0 it has uh, you know, has been with us for many decades now. my generation and the generation before me and off to me, you know, part of our culture as a 0 is ingrained and it's, it, it, it, it basically helps model our culture, our way of thinking how we looked to the outside world. it also moulded the vision of the outside world towards what's happening in the our, up in the muslim world. and especially in the 1st time and but right now while i was in gaza as a 0, it was the main outlet for the people in the sizes of to listen to the news, especially through the different entry and you frequencies that to have given to the civilians that didn't have access to either television or the internet. mm hm.

so right now, heating about this news. definitely i think um will, will hurt the people on the ground in the zones, especially those one thing to get their voices out. however, i am sure that you know the ingenuity of the people of goes out together with a 0 team on the ground with all of us find a solution to tell the story how it is from because and other places around the world. daniel's legit political context is very important. the lawyers not in nothing he has nothing. yeah. has had to use why is a hit targeting a 0 now? do you think or what? well, i would suggest the full things are going on, and of course you do sometimes see a certain western media band in some countries, the west itself banding media for instance, from the russian media rapids. but what's going on right here is possible. this is paul old, the attempt to control message thought of these, ready this information,

campaign, part of the fight and you don't have many media rabbits in galls, us know will costing 247 most west and out. that's a been buried themselves in these rarely, it's not the 1st time is rarely tried to control the message in this way. bullying the l july media towering dollars a story years ago to make sure you're not locked law. 2 years ago, more than 100 journalist, the family of wild doctor killed. this is another step in that direction. secondly, i think it is a regional and jo political attempt by price. ready is the knots in yahoo to go off the top top, not just l g 0, and the, the attempt to reach to, i mean, if you remember when cuts out was blue, painted those countries talked about, i'll just 0 is one of the reasons for that. and i think it's nothing you always have to say, hey, i'll just do is i'll come in any be, i don't think that resonates really today. i'll just 0. i'm the top to opposition is part of more than our consensus. it's not an outlier in that context. i also

don't think we can know, but this is happening just as taught. tar is playing a crucial mediation pro negotiations for a ceasefire at a hosted release. nothing y'all has done everything on the mind. those tools, bombing the tests out does a reconstruction building, pull the rhetorical attacks and phone cut off. he doesn't want the steel. and finally, i would say, all of his domestic political management is part of speeding the extremism in these route. he has looked for distractions from the world, but he's not going well. beach right in public tend to not be shown. the images coming out of gauze, a witness came to a vote. imagery nested. only 10 members voted to get no sign. this member of kinetic voted against only the 10 members from the parties representing the palestinian arab citizens visual, bought the human rights community, the association for civil rights in the ground and said, this is dangerous. this is an attack on freedom of speech and expression. the way

this little photos, the path of what ology right, has been targeted with baths, is to change the time it is killed. now it's the next step, which is basically trying to silence as is it, what does the international law say about this? well, what is barry? do i bet john, our civilians under international humanitarian, new, and c. gotcha. the number of john is set up in the previous red fox conflicts in the last 30 years. so it indicates the use of disproportionate this minute a tax, which of course then kathy that uh, well i guess we've also seen some evidence some suspicion that some journalist, particularly i just happened. ready about all the time.

7 target civilians in the middle school and then now comes an escalation. i'm just the, it's a flush shutting down by just be your independent me yeah. now loops the only one operating i international outlet operating one does show under international law be seen by nations, attention body monitoring to crimes, violations off international. the freedom of expression, which does not appear in the book still have the right to access information that is gone. so i see a fax from not just on did you have a back from the human rights perspective? perspective, a slide, think that signing of democratic body principles. i know it just read this. one is the best thing to do when they want to travel far. shut down to meet and shut

down independence each month. so you and your neighbors. and the people here knowing does a you what the watching the media coverage. we have to remind our viewers. so it's just that if you media out is operating in gaza, how closer was that coverage in shaping you perception to what is happening on the ground and how significant it is beyond? or it's extremely important. i mean, does it gave a voice to those that didn't have a voice? you will have to also remember that insight is what are those a very big go out of the palestinian population who did not leave their homes in 19481967 who rely on a 0 and who we have many relatives data that need a da 0 to ensure that their stories are being told. the people in the was, like i said, all the time they out on the radio was listening to the 0 and the coverage from

inside the occupied lands. and what is happening in the west bank and then there was a, a to z. it is, is extremely, extremely important. again, when it's a cat, when it comes to shifting the mentality of not only the inside world in the most than what out of the world. but internationally, i think in frank standing the top 12 or 3 a tv broadcast stations. so right now the most heated place, the place that is changing history to now is the occupied land in palestine and attempting another time to try and bind a da 0. there is just another to another facade. it's another. another way to show that is the democratic nation of design and state. and it's, it's gets case for them supporting human rights. and freedom of speech again is another lie. and it's going to continue to work against them as they try to propagate their lives towards the world. a near you've spoken about the key

for reasons why. and that's and yeah, who is taking that path. now, when you say that you are the only democracy in that part of the world, and then you decide to shut down and use out as when you know that it is absolutely going to be extremely difficult for you to build bridges with allies globally about this move is a, hey, confident or emboldened in a way or another that the international reaction is going to be new to business as usual. move forward. nobody gas, that's the key thing, isn't it? because without that western american guaranteed impunity, not only this measure against against alger 0, but, you know, let's go broad. could israel be doing what it's doing to also studies 1000 plus deaths, perhaps many, many more. over 1213000 children, the devastation,

the use of salvation as a weapon. the for the pay on committing of the crime of genocide, ignoring because of the international court of justice on top of the cost of decades of belligerent, illegal occupation, and a regime now documented and discussed. so that would be in the human rights, but by states themselves in the course, as the origin of apartheid could any of that, let alone this late just measure be possible if it were not for the absolute absence of accountability guaranteed by the us. and i think when nothing y'all took this measure, he did so confident that the state department spokesman may appear in front of the podium and say, well, we worry about democracy in the role of the media, but they will not do anything we've just heard yet more of transfers from the us to redraw and, and this is the crucial point. how should we so months of demonstrations in his rel, prior to october, sense of people saying,

save is re democracy. the judicial reforms was nothing. yahoo smoked, which bang to be a color issue. we're doing, but they never talked about the occupation. they never talked about this a pop type regime. and here we have no one zine this member of congested raise that hand against this bill, which is an assault of freedom of expression, freedom of the media and democracy. so it how unfortunate the democracy does not extend to the protection of palestinian rights. are we 90, just killed in the war and gaza the international jo? notice bob's from entering does have they have to be embedded with these ready on the, if they want to to come of a story that a wave of attacks of buys will scrutinize ations sanctions, flats, intimidation discrimination against the jo. notice yet you will see over the international community of the un under the americas. in particular,

we've botanic nothing, you know enough is enough. it's not happening. but i cannot say what to post the united states or any other member state. we've had understand it from yahoo! but i can tell you from the human rights and she does, i'm an independent x and it becomes a by the us. and we would be make every laws noise that we believe what is happening is not only the deprivation and violation of the right to freedom of expression off the inhabitants of god. but also these ready people, these really people have a right to access diverse sources of information that is part of freedom of expression and mr. yep, at yahoo! domestic are based starting. and that is how or talk or see a enters a democratic and that is extremely dangerous, i believe, is read as well as for the off, any impact. very important thing, can i show community as a member states like the us where as you know, big of freedom is, is

a big issue of companies like that must stand behind it. because otherwise we will know what the bbc would be expelled from another public situation. so we have to be extremely careful that's an international community. what presidents asset here in these red most. so you're a back to the citizen geno is give us an idea about the challenges that joe noticed was go through on a daily basis just to cover a simple story for the viewers domestically and globally. yes. while i was in gaza, invoiced a shift and loss of hospital. like you said i'm, i'm a, i'm a, i became a citizen during the list reporting the news on different tv networks, radio stations, doing a lot of social media content on different platforms and 9 practice with dozens of journalists and social media influence that's in the old world kink in the most

difficult and most dangerous areas, i think in the world right now. and there is no safe place in that as a. and if you are holding in your hand, any piece of technology, even if it's a switched off, it's can be tracked then you can be taught to get to it. and you have to understand that these journalists have families have homes there, and many have lost their relatives, their loved ones folder, well, they've lost their residence. they are living in tents. they're living on the pavement. step living inside. when the rescue g, schools and hospitals, in order to try to get an internet connection to get the media out, they have to have a sense and they have to go through the danger to dangerous areas on different elevations and different remote locations in order to access the signal and try to get the message out the video, the voice message, the text out to the world in, in, in, in, in a very dangerous situation. many people, you know, every day whenever we met in the morning, we never knew if you would,

we would see each other a night. similar to what's happened, for example, with the son of what the door who we met in the morning and we, we, we prayed our, our, our farewells prayers on him. later during the evening. similar to many other journalists who lost family members on one day and the next day they came back and said look, whatever they start with us, we're going to continue. this is our strive, our struggle towards freedom, not only for the 1st time, but for the whole the world. a danny. what, what is that to the hood trying to achieve? it's no secret. he doesn't want to have any peace deal. find a hit in though. huh. he's a big fan of having the announcements made elsewhere. number 2 has been extremely critical of the cuts out is over the last few months. and you get to this critical phase of the negotiations to solve as it did above the hostages. and yet another warning to shut down,

i'll just see that which could compromise the safety of its employees. is it a fairly phase message to the catawba is once again, but ultimately it has to be my way. or no way i think is know that seem the fail then we have a very consistent is right? yeah. so it's not just against cut off against anyone who tries to be a, a, a contrary invoice to what he's riley's doing you see is really actions against south africa. she is right. reactions against all those type. that stands, you see the pets give us that is relevant supporters including some states uh from, from the region you are in uh, trying to cancel the arrangements with the american universities who benefit greatly from the campuses they have in topped out like texas a and then and so i think i,

it's paul lee the to send that message. i don't think that message will be effective or successful. i be daughter, is committed to this mediation after the discontinue, despite the all the publications on these ready side. and by the way, be use ready most actually continues to go back and for meeting with the country. but american addiction mediators. and i imagine that we'll continue costs all by the way, is back with the families of hostages in cut, our emissions in different capitals in the world. had some members of the families in dall. so i think kept all will continue its efforts. despite this, i think yes the, the b is raised, may hope that the message will not come out as much as a consequence of this action. i think we just heard from, from very powerful testimony of, from months. ready i think the truth will out whether that citizen journalism, whether that's the efforts that you without a 0 will, i'm sure maintain in terms of getting the story out. so i think when it comes to

trying to hide from the world of what is going on, that is not going to happen either. so i think these have to be blown fuse but as part of a quite sophisticated and transparent game domestically and internationally that nothing yahoo is playing he's playing because he can get away with it. already. it says the salt of the ball and because of these rather government has passed more time regulations and had it not been for the combined just raise sometimes slowly joe noticed operating on the ground, some of them holding the camera for the 1st time. and then like i said, he's not being for that cuz we would never have been able to see that. but then the less bombardment of the massive destruction in gaza. do you have any concerns that what we seeing is just the same path, which is basically the right to deny the world from knowing exactly what is happening to the people in gaza? to yes, you might try to deny it, but i don't think we succeed. you know,

i'm working right now on, on a, on a report on journalism index side and from doc i've seen around the world. it's the same story. journalist, we stand up, they will just continue to the work, even citizen journalists, we replace them. if uh, independent journalists are thrown out. so from back fence work, we continue on the ground. the big question for me on my side, what accountability to that before you switch. and there, i think, and can actually communicate, has a duty to ensure that these kinds of creatures, international humanitarian know mean connections to mon, right. tional are indeed, and it's right, it's in because the account for those most. so is this something that is likely to do to the journalists operating and goes up from continuing the work of the see the house of progress ongoing, not the toilet. luckily few of them to even work further and the more strong and fed them on the mission. i actually feel bad for the,

for the is really during this because i'm seeing that uh, they're there to come to your life now as, as values are being demolished and slowly, you know, without intentionally crumbling and, and honestly uh once slowly the values that your country supposedly built on stop to advocate then, then you need to be scared about the future for you and the patients to come. so i think that the boys in the isn't, isn't the court of the, is there any of these and these fairly public opinion as well, and is there any during that as i'm, do they want to see this, the beginning of the company of so called democracy and that's the slide daniel, if nothing. yeah. who decides to go ahead and ban alda 0? would it be a tiny point? unprecedented move? no, it's, it's raul, the old. the fat really you kill the messenger. that's the attempt to you.

quite literally a devastatingly, in the case of sherry in the family while and many offers. uh, but uh, the buyers legal move via visa be al jazeera. uh, but know the message will come out. and if it is rel doesn't want this kind of coverage, there's a much better paul. then passing these laws is ro, could cease to violate international law, could cease to commit crimes. in garza could cease to dehumanize entry palestinians in this way. and that's all to be going to be the way out of this month. so it makes it really important point. the walk, this is also part old, is a phenomenon insight as well with the media inside israel has been sent sold, but it is also self sensitive during these past 6 months to an unprecedented degree . and if anyone who understands the language spend some time watching his reading media, it is a harsh oh, oh, quite often of insight that okay, genocide,

the international court of justice is pulled out. i really, if you look of the last of the 2017, the he's very involved to expel a 0 june of this 2022 shooting a box was getting the strike cause the 5 minute way. and i do have to about 20 the 5th general revised as a son and then and hums and another and the camera man. what killed is this a case for the ice se, or suddenly i didn't think i understand. i think the national criminal is looking into getting to the journalist as puppets investigations. so i can be there. there was ticket scores, but i also think i just want to pick up on the point that some others have made. and that is what is due to media inside is a government problem in the process of it all, without much fault of its own legal system and its own values. prime minister, who decides to bad? uh, i'll click without much reasons for political geopolitical purposes on political money

relations. 2 how much will they think next about what can be done inside this red encrypted system will arise when diverse points so. so this is actually a very, it's a beginning for very warring stage, then it's rag. so political, nice on no need, no need to remind all of the view is globally that it's the media that really makes massive impacts and difference in these spots of the world that this explains why they have to stick around and continue doing what they've been doing. real hon. one social month, 1011. i really appreciate your insights and looking forward to talking to in the near future. thank you. i'm thank you for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website. i just see the dot com for further discussion. go to our facebook page, that's facebook dot com forward slash a j inside study. you can also joining the conversation on x and that is at

a j inside slowly from the house and model the entire team here in the bye for now the the latest news as a people have been coming here all day to pay tribute to those who lost their lives . vladimir putin has called the attack of bloody and barbaric app with detailed coverage. the more hours tonight to celebrate perhaps a change for the sending of these people from around the world. joe biden says the federal government is committed to rebuilding it. there's no indication of when that process might even begin a c o knows they load balancing from the parallel processing. and so it's why we work with bill cuz who make it their business to know your business. yep. we all, we, you all the,

the us is always of inside 50 for the world. people pay attention to this one here . and i'll just do this very good that bringing the news to the world from here as the well plunged into a climate disaster. we are in the planetary class. this year, a new 8 pub series exposes the reality of the global emergency. there will come a time where no amount of dollars will be able to make up for what is broken and meet with people trying to make a difference. it was endless economic growth,

a growth because rising for as nothing in nature grows dying. coming soon, the the lines are of any age good to have you with us. this is the news. our life from bill coming up in the program to day condemnation and calls for an investigation and gaza, often is really striking, kills 7 employees of the world. the central kitchen charity funeral is held for the palestinian aid worker killed in that attack. the group has now suspended it's operation and gaza for thousands are facing starvation. major fire and centrally
